At first glance, Signal is similar to the MUT, which was
created as M4/M16 weapon tool. Signal very clearly
benefits from this design, but it is a good thing, sin-
ce MUT is one of the best good-looking multitools in
Leatherman portfolio, while its younger brother is even
more attractive. At least that is my opinion. Putting it
simple, it can be said that Signal is down-sized MUT.
The basic tool, as in the case of all Leatherman pro-
ducts, are combination pliers. The length of the ser-
rated working part is 29 mm, 20 mm of which is flat
and the remaining 9 – round. Between the serration
and the hinge of jaws, a wire cutter was placed, made
of 154 CM steel with profiled, replaceable blades for
cutting soft and hard wire. Below the hinge, there is
an element for clenching electric couplers, the so-
called connectors (what is peculiar – this feature has
not been mentioned on the producer's website). The
jaws hide to the inside of arms made of stainless steel
covered with a DLC preventive coating with a black,
semi-matte finish.
There are some tools on outside of the multitool –
you do not have to open it to use them. The knife will
for sure be one of the most often used. In the case
of Signal, it is a partially serrated (aka combo) 420HC
